    So aside from my 25 gallon cube I have 20L that has completed it's cycle and ready for some residents to move in. I have put together a list of potential residents that I am interested in. mind you not all these fish going into this tank. this is just a list of fish I am interested in. it may only have a single occupant but no more than three. any opinions or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    The Candidates:
    Coral Beauty(possible poly eater jury out on this one)
    Unarmed Perchlet
    Yellow Assesor
    Bicolor Blenny
    Sailfin Blenny
    Diadem Dottyback
    Orchid Dottyback
    Citron Clown Goby
    Royal Gramma
    Chalk Bass
    Swissguard Basslet
    Lyretail Hawkfish
    Sixline Wrasse

    The selection is also pending availability of stock in fish store

    Thanks Corailline, the way you answered my question makes it easier to decide what fish to choose. Glad the bass was safe for some reason I like this little fish.

    I like the Chalk Bass a lot. It's one of those fish that is a lot more colorful in person with a mild temperament.

    I don't want to overstock. I like to keep my stocking low so would three fish,maximum three inches each,be appropriate or is that pushing it. There is a protein skimmer and I perform 15% percent WC week.

    I am really conservative when it comes to stocking. I have a 20 gallon tank with only a pair of clowns. I could probably add a Damsel or the Royal Gramma though. Or have you thought about Dartfish, the Firefish types?

    I have heard of them but they don't really interest me. I was thinking of getting the bass and one of the blennies and keep it at that.

    I agree about the coral beauty, too small of a tank. It won't do well in my opinion.
